Doodling my sadness away..

Instead of letting my mind hum on the issues of today's news, I prefer to doodle all the sadness away.  Don't you think the news nowadays are more bad than good. On the domestic side, there are  more robberies, rapes, kidnapping of children than ever before.  Besides that the politics sounds dirtier than ever, so much so I look at politicians with a disdain.  At the moment no amount of publicity of their goodness is going to win my favour because I have stopped listening or reading news.  Doesn't matter what, I will just read the Bible because that is life, life of love. If everyone has a fear of God, no matter whether you are a politician , or a hawker, you will do things the right way, nobody dares point the finger at you, at least not so many.  However, I must say that a politician has too much temptations...try being one and you will know what I  mean. Therefore, I suppose, we must remove the speck in our eyes before we tell our friend that his eyes has one too.  I have only to pray about it, for myself and for everybody.

Enjoy my doodles!  If they are funny, laugh with all your hearts....hehehe...

On a Marathon to Produce 100 pcs Mini Artworks

My resolution this year...To make full use of the time I have in doing what I love.
Something has just been proven....when you love what you do, you feel the least stress.
As such, your body's immune system is also up.  What a heavenly life!

In fact , I am running two Marathons....to finish the Bible by this year too....is it being disrespectful if I
read the Bible and paint at the same time...????? When I say read, I mean 'study'....listening to online Bible and reading the Bible book , cross referencing....I think God will forgive me because I am also serious about it.

A Fibre Artist Without Knowing It

Just recently I learnt something new.  It is Fibre Art. I had not known what I was doing decades ago, that was in the 1980s, was actually categorised as 'art'.

Below are pictures of some of the doillies, runners and centrepieces I had made before(wonder if that constitutes 'art' because I merely followed the created patterns).  The actual products were long gone.  They were thrown away by some unappreciative souls who did not understand what the number of hours and effort I had put in meant.Oops....pardon me.

At this juncture, I prefer to leave all unhappy thoughts behind.  Instead , I will think of the fun and joy I will get later by making these lovely things.

Spiritually fulfilled....fully inspired

Without God's helping hands, I do not believe I can possibly do my art better.
Half a year before this, I have never been able to complete a drawing of a portrait but now I am able to do it in an hour or two, and with some degree of likeness to the subject.  Amazing, don't you think so?

Of course I did pray about it.  I prayed that if God is really with me, He will make it happen, that I can
do my art so well that I , myself, am blown away, needless to say the others who have never seen me hold a sketching pencil or a paint brush to paint any grand picture.  I had them blown away when I painted flowers, cats, dogs, landscapes or seascapes like  a professional. My son was moved to tears.
He went like this, "Oh, mummy! You can paint! Oh, mummy, I didn't know you're so clever!"

Then I said, "Now, do you believe in Him now? I told you I am going to pray about it, right?"

New portraits that I have drawn...one of them(yet to be finished) is a picture of a baby....it is the first time I drew a baby.  Oh boy, it is not easy!

 This is an uncompleted picture....I took nearly a quarter of an hour to do the baby's face...

Besides Painting.....

I love to do my painting but I cannot let it overwhelm my life. I must also finish reading my Bible this
year.  Now I have just finished Second Kings and I am so sick of all those kings after King David, starting from King Solomon. Go and read the Bible if you don't know what I mean.  And the other day I  was reading about Jeremiah after  getting so irked. Poor Jeremiah, it was hard indeed to be chosen as a prophet, going about telling what bad things going to befall on another.

Another thing I want to share is the condition of my Bible now.  I am  not trying to show I am a holy person.  It is something that came into my mind.  I am not treating my book well.  Look at the condition.  I have left my pen in between the pages and now the Bible is coming apart.  Makes me think of something in a more serious note.  Am I treating the Word of God right?  What are my attitudes towards the contents of the Bible?  I really have to guard my heart, the mere action of reading is not so important as what runs in the heart or mind.
